From a long-term point of view, the balancing of work and non-work roles has been regarded as important for increasing job performance. It is necessary for employees to enhance autonomy to deal with their business and to carry out their tasks successfully, and it is a key issue for employers to enhance worker autonomy to ensure the acquisition of talented people and to increase their productivity. This paper explores the relevance of work autonomy with work-life obligations from the stand point of autonomous task allocations and task attributes. Specifically, it examines the degree of existing work autonomy from a multi-agent perspective. Data is drawn from a sample of seven companies divided into four classes based on the richness of their corporate support systems. The questionnaire survey covering ten work autonomy factors shows considerable differences do exist in the perceived level of work autonomy between specific factors and agents, a finding which has potentially important implications for promoting greater work-life balance in the Japanese workplace.
